First time sativa/soil grow...is this normal? blue dream info?!?!

[theforthdrive]

but why are the pots only half full?

LOL, thats an easy one! Im broke and rockwool is expensive. Those are 5 gal buckets, should be plenty of RW. I had so much money before I moved to cali, but things are f-ing expensive here. But Im not complaining...look what I can do! :stoned:

looks good man, have you checked the color of the trichs yet?

for some reason i cant figure out how to get a descent close up but here is what i could get. Boths plants are at week 8! and Im happy to report that the blue dream/sativa is starting to turn! maybe a couple more weeks. In the photo where they are side by side. the left plant is silver kush and the right on is the dream! thoughts?

Doesnt look like blue dream to me. I got a room full of her and shes way more sativa looking than those. Giant fan leaves, mad trichs by the 3rd week. It may be that its in soil but that wouldnt change the way the leaves are. BD is a nice yielder in hydro.

the blue dream i get from the club is really dense if that helps : )

the last 2-3 weeks of flower are when the buds get fat. you just have to wait it out.

hey purple kush - i'm a first time blue dream grower and have a question for a vet like you - when should I top the plants?
I have 4 BDs 2 Sour Deisel plants, I've had them for 2 weeks, got them as clones. They're in a 4X4X6 foot indoor grow hut with a 600 mh light, can fan and oscilating fan, Botinacare nutrients.
Since BD is such a slow grower (although mine are getting pretty big for 2 weeks) when should I top the plants? A week or two before going into flowering stage (12/12 hrs)?
Thanks!

hey i have a blue dream in my collection and i was wondering how long did your plants take to branch out, its taking a rediculosly long time the plant is like a month and a half and there is mo branches just 6 nodes of leaves, its under 200w cfl and100w florescent in normal soil, i dont want to fertiliz because its so fucking small. its in a 1 gal pot for now and not root bound at all:wtf:
